The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to section 5 of the Government Efficiency Framework, if he will publish the most recent quarterly efficiency report provided by the Office of Rail and Road.

Answered by Department for Transport

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has not provided a quarterly efficiency report under section 5 of the Government Efficiency Framework. ORR is not currently required to submit quarterly efficiency reports to HM Treasury and has not formally been asked to report progress against savings and efficiency measures through that mechanism. ORR has, however, identified savings and technical efficiencies as part of the 2025 Spending Review process and reports on its financial and operational performance through its published governance and reporting arrangements, including its Annual Report and Accounts.
